Tell Your Boss

Nobody wants a heart-to-heart in the corner office, but the boss will hear the news eventually. It really should come from you.

Manage it: "Use the meet-the-parents test," says Daniel Pink, author of The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need. "If it's serious enough for you to introduce her to your parents, tell your boss, too." Losee suggests that the more senior staffer deliver the news. Say simply that you wanted to be open about it, and stress that your work won't be affected. "Do not walk into the boss's office together," says Losee. "It's infantilizing."
